“Green Finch and Linnet Bird” Song from Sweeney Todd

Scars On Broadway - World Long Gone (Song)
World Long Gone is a song by Scars On Broadway, and I believe the second single released for this record, which appears on their self-titled debut album. One thing I’ll say about World Long Gone right now is that the main riff of the song is probably the best …
Neutral Milk Hotel - Avery Island/April 1st (Song)
Avery Island/April 1st is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel which is the seventh on the track listing of their debut release, On Avery Island. Something to point out about this track is that it’s another instrumental, so this could potentially be slightly discouraging to some listeners. In my …
Lady Gaga - Telephone (Song)
Telephone is a song by Lady Gaga which appears on her album The Fame Monster. The track opens up with a fairly quiet mood which serves as a nice contrast to the majority of the track which is much more lively and energetic. I think that a nice thing …
Arctic Monkeys - Suck It And See: Album
The UK’s favourite Indie rockers returned this summer with their fourth studio album, entitled Suck It and See.

Although I was …

Day & Age
If you remember the Hot Fuss, the debut album from The Killers, released in 2004, would you mind addressing the songs from the band, who came from Las Vegas, which affected the New Wave and Britpop, while Brandon Flowers (vocals), sing with a fake English accent, ironically it is …

Best of the Freedom Fest CD

Stone Temple Pilots - And So I Know (song)
“And So I Know” is a track off of the Tiny Music… Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop album released in 1996. Not only do I find this song adversely different from the other tracks on this album, but I also find it to be very relaxing and quite …
High School Musical 2 Soundtrack
It is a very good idea of the organizers or whoever they call to compile the 2nd version soundtrack title, High School Musical 2. I find arrangement truly amazing and this soundtrack is something that I always put on and listen to while cooking, doing some exercises or …
Borns - Past Lives (Song)
BORNS is one of the up and coming musicians this year that really got me interested. From the first time I heard him in his wonderfully-crafted “10,000 Emerald Pools”, I knew that I will be captivated in his following efforts. And he never failed, far from it.
Past Lives …
Bone Thugs N Harmony: Creepin On Ah Come Up
Bone Thugs N Harmony’s Creepin On Ah Come up album is a hip hop classic and one of the best rap albums I have ever heard. From the intro with the devil laughing to the haunting singing of Bone Thugs, this album delivers the thug style. The hit song …
Katy Perry - Rise (2016 Theme Song for Olympics)
If there’s a popstar that I believe could make a hit after hit without tiring the general audience, I will probably say it is Katy Perry. Her presence in the music industry is pretty much felt in the span of almost a decade, (gosh it makes me feel old) …
Mariah Carey’s Greatest Hits album
I remember I bought the CD from Amazon and I couldn’t believe that it was sold at a very cheap price. I bought it right away and was happy to receive it. I like it because aside from the price, I love Mariah Carey so much she’s my idol …
Psychlon Nine (band)
It was one of my friends who had first introduced me to the music of the industrial metal and aggrotech band called “Psychlon Nine”. Although I love listening to some good industrial metal once in a while too, I just did not really know what to make of this …
Our Song (song by, Taylor Swift )
I first heard Our Song by Taylor Swift on one of our local radio stations and became instantly hooked to the song. I did not know it was Taylor Swift who sang this song until I looked up the lyrics on the internet.
The song itself has a country beat …
Mariah Carey CD
I was never really a big fan of Mariah Carey’s but after hearing her new songs on the radio and then obtaining her cd I can defintely say she’s one of hip-hop’s M.V.P. Her cd the Emancipation of Mimi was excellent. She really put her haert in this one. …
Andrew Jackson Jihad - Free Bird (Song)
Free Bird is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad and is the penultimate track on their 2011 release, Knife Man. Though at first, I thought this might be some type of unorthodox cover of the iconic track from Lynyrd Skynyrd, but you can rest assured that this is another …
Clothes off by Gym class heroes
Clothes off by gym class heroes is on there album as cruel as school children. This song is four minutes and eleven seconds long and it came out in July twenty seventh two thousand and seven. This song to me is kind of funny because it talks about how …
The Flaming Lips (band)

What I absolutely love about the bands “The Flaming …
The Grateful Dead - Aoxomoxoa
Overview - Aoxomoxoa, the third album by The Grateful Dead, goes back more to traditional song structure and a lot further away from the experimental side they meddled with on Anthem Of The Sun, however you can still hear some pretty experimental sides on certain tracks. Also, the songs …
Hell Chose Me - Carnifex
“Hell Chose Me” is the 3rd outing from death metal/hardcore band Carnifex. Let me start off this review by saying this completely sounds like a new, completely unrelated band. The progession from their second album “The Diseased and The Poisoned” is so noticeable with this album, that the two …
War, 1983 Album by U2
Trust me, this album is very special. I remember how I listened to this album for the first time, and how I was impressed by what I heard. I liked the debut album by U2, called Boy. I did not like the second album, October, at all. But then …
Ridin dirty by chamillionaire
Ridin dirty by chamillionaire on the sound of revenge is my favorite rap song that talks about drugs. It talks about how this one guy gets pulled over by the cops so much because they are trying to catch him ridin dirty. It also talks about his car …
Britney Spears song Mannequin
For starters, I’m not a fan of pop music. But I am a dancer. So of course I’m inclined to dance to pop music every once in awhile. I picked up Britney Spear’s album “Circus” and the best song on there is clearly “Mannequin.” It’s …
Gogol Bordello - Hat’s Off To Kolpakoff (Song)
Hat’s Off To Kolpakoff is a song by Gogol Bordello which appears on their album Multi Kontra Culti Vs. Irony.

Toby Mac’s “City on Our Knees” Song
The first time I heard the song “City on Our Knees” by Toby Mac it was on the ending scenes from the movie “Grace Card”. Not only does the song bring to light some deep emotions that everyone feels when listening to a song that is meaningful to them, …
Tiny Dancer by Elton John
Tiny Dancer by Elton John is a beautiful song to which every time I listen to it the song still amazes me how soft and beautiful the words are sung. This guy has an awesome voice which lures me to sleep almost every night because that’s how much I …

Ion Digital Drum Studio
It’s no question that I love to rock, but I’m not much of a drummer. The Ion Digital Drum Studio has been helping with that. This product is far more than a practice machine though. And the part I love about it, it’s only the size of a small …
We rode in Trucks by Luke Bryant
We rode in trucks by Luke Bryant is a song that makes me think of the small town I live in cause I know what it is like to grow up like he is talking about. Trucks are a common thing among these parts. This song shows how it …
‘Les Is More’ album by Ryan Leslie
Ryan Leslie, an artist / producer, classically trained in piano - has everything an artist needs, right? Well, that’s where it all goes wrong - he has too much. I’ve been a fan of Ryan Leslie since 2007, watching all his YouTube videos, and frequently checking his production credentials …

“In My Lifetime” (1995): Jay-Z
Jay-Z
“In My Lifetime”
Payday Records
Jay-Z made his debut with this single and music video “In My Lifetime” which isn’t from any particular album. This was released about a year before his first album came out. “In My Lifetime” is basically a rags-to-riches stylized music video (if you’ve seen the one …
Already Gone by Sugarland
This is the deepest song Sugarland has ever come out with. And I say this because it reminds me of the relationship with me and mother and me trying to grow up too quickly. I live four hours away from my mother and it makes me wish that I …
Nas - Undying Love (song)
“Undying Love” is a lyrical masterpiece from the rapper Nas. This song appears on his album “I Am” which in itself garnered mixed reviews. I’ll tell you this though, never will you hear such a well thought out and well told story in today’s rap/hip hop scene. Fittingly this …
Green Day - Only Of You (Song)
Only Of You is a song by Green Day which appears on their debut album, 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. The track opens up with all of the instruments wasting no time and starting up right away with Armstrong’s guitar leading the sound with the traditional power-chord riffs which you …
Breakdown by Jack Johnson
I love Jack Johnson because he seems to put out some very upbeat and positive songs. It’s about time that someone put out more positive songs than they do negative or depressing songs. This song is about the train breaking down. He’s ready to break down, sounds like he …
Green Day - See The Light (Song)
See The Light is the final track on Green Day’s most recent studio release, 21st Century Breakdown. See The Light starts off with the same acoustic guitar pattern which 21st Century Breakdown, the track, started off with but the tempo is a bit faster I believe. Interesting how Song …

Ibanez SRX200 4 string bass

Pink Floyd - The Division Bell (1994)
I hate this album. I hate it just because this is the last Pink Floyd album, for good. That’s the only reason, other than that, this is the first Pink Floyd album I got to listen to as a whole, and the song that made me listen, was High …
Let’s Get Free [PA] by Dead Prez
